Turriville is a mainly rural area located in northeastern Pennsylvania. There are rapidly growing housing subdivisions, surrounded by some farms and forests. Homeowners in the developments have expressed concerns about deer damage to landscaping around their homes.
Under natural conditions, most animals, including deer, produce more young each year than their habitat can support. Unless something is done to increase the carrying capacity of the habitat, the same number that are added must die. This yearly surplus that must die could be old, sick, injured, or young animals. It could also include animals in prime condition. Deer populations can be kept under control only by eliminating the annual increase.
But how will the animals be eliminated? Or should they be eliminated? Should we just provide more food? Can we move them someplace else? Can we control their fertility? Should we even get involved at all or just let nature take its course?
You are a committee formed by the Turriville City Council. As a committee, you must come up with a plan to recommend to the city council to address the deer population issue in Turriville. You will be assigned a specific character to play. Play that part when debating the issuing and coming up with your recommendation as a group.
